The rib cap, the first cut of meat of this video...you can get TWO of them on crowdcow.com for $177 USD. It's 48 ounces or 3lbs worth of meat. That averages out to $45 USD per 12oz steak. Pricey but worth it for the experience. And, yes, they come looking exactly like the picture they show.
If you’ve ever seen wagyu sliders that’s the idea, ground on its own it’s way to fatty and would just melt away. What I would do is take all the trim, dice it up into smaller cubes, I’d take a leaner good quality but neutral cut of meat like sirloin, measure it out at 70% to the wagyus 30% fat, grind the sirloin once, mix in the fat then grind it a second time. Retail it as wagyu burger and get some of my money back. It might sound a little sneaky but it needs to be used for something and the actual muscle fibres in wagyu are almost irrelevant, it’s the fat that’s the prize. This way you get a product that is actually useable.
